And we have our first malcontent in response to my decision to stop accepting Facebook friend requests from total strangers. Kevin R.’s response to my message asking him to follow the fan page instead:<\/p>\n

Speaking of Facebook, Slate’s Big Money site has an op ed on why Facebook’s current model won’t work<\/a>. It’s interesting – I’ve said before that I don’t know how Facebook thinks it’s going to make money off of me – but I don’t know that I was convinced of anything. I guess it’s better than this travesty<\/a>, an article that trashes MBA educations, written by a guy who hasn’t actually been to business school but appears to know all about what’s taught there. (For the record, I’ve said before I’m not sure that business school is a good financial decision for most people, and it certainly wasn’t for me given the career change I made after attending.)<\/p>\n
This weekend doesn’t just mark Opening Day in MLB, but in baseball leagues all over the world. Japan’s NPB<\/a> started up last night; Korea and Germany start tonight; and France and Sweden (yes, Sweden) start along with MLB on Sunday. The Dutch Honkbal Hoofdklasse starts next Saturday.<\/p>\n
A simple recipe for lemon squares<\/a>. Not quite my cup of tea – where’s the chocolate, dude? – but the picture is appealing.<\/p>\n
Links over at the Four-Letter: Yesterday’s chat<\/a>, my Wednesday hit on The Herd<\/a> (around 6:20), my Thursday hit on First Take<\/a> (and no, that’s not my photo), and our MLB preview package<\/a>, with two sentences from me on each team covering one rookie hitter and one rookie pitcher who could make an impact in 2009.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
